How Does the Donation Process Go?
When you know you’re ready to donate, all you have to do is reach out. Here’s how the process works:
You contact us. Fill out our online donation form or call 877-594-5822. We’ll gather a little information about you and the car you want to donate. We’ll use these details to determine whether your vehicle is eligible.
We schedule a pickup. If your car qualifies, we’ll coordinate with a local towing company to pick up your vehicle at your convenience, free of charge.
We send you a tax receipt. Up to 30 days after your vehicle is sold at auction, we’ll send you a tax-deductible sales receipt in the mail. You can use this receipt to claim your deduction when you file your next itemized federal income tax return.

We accept many types of vehicles, from motorcycles to motorhomes. If you’re not sure whether your vehicle qualifies, contact us and we’ll review the details with you.

Beyond Donating, How Else Can I Help My Community?
If you want to do even more for veterans in your area, consider contacting local government organizations that serve those in need. CARE 7 Veteran Services through the City of Tempe connects veterans to housing support, emergency assistance, and other community resources, and they can help you find meaningful ways to volunteer. You can also reach out to the Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services in Maricopa County. The department leads outreach programs for veterans facing housing instability and other challenges and can share hands-on opportunities where you can make lasting change.
What Happens to My Vehicle After I Donate It?
After you donate your vehicle, it is sold, and the proceeds are used to support programs that serve veterans. That means your automobile turns into funding for real services that help former service members build safer, more stable lives. That’s something anyone would be proud of.
